Most orange Diptera larvae turn out to be Cecidomyiidae. As this one appears to be living in rotten wood, I would suggest Lestremiinae, but that is just a guess - I would need to see the specimen to confirm.

Alright, that seems plausible. I didn't know there are also saprophagous species in the family, but now I just read about it, interesting! Thank you, Tony, for your guess!
